Coyote Helps is a nonprofit in the making (501 c 3
status pending). Coyote Helps is run entirely by volunteers -
unpaid staff. The founder is a volunteer herself and receives no
monetary payment for her time in managing the efforts of this
nonprofit.
New members of the leadership team are recruited from the ranks of CoyoteHelps volunteers.
Coyote Helps needs to always have at least three board members.
Board members receive no financial compensation and, unlike with
most nonprofits, Coyote Helps board members are NOT required to
donate financially to the organization.

This will take about 5 hours of your time a year.
The draft Coyote Helps Bylaws are here.
